The Siesta

A deep siesta but slowly awaking
Now on the cusp of sleep and conscious
The body still sinking deep into the mattress
The mind aware of the body
But sounds not quite in focus

GGRRR-r-r-r--r--r---r
GGRRR-r-r-r--r--r---r

The motorcycle next door?
Why doesn't it start and leave
Again
Again
Pulling me further from siesta

GGRRR-r-r-r--r--r---r
Oh
Not the motorcycle next door
Taylor the cocker spaniel
Curled against my stomach
Snoring, still deep in his siesta
